The competition for 10/u athletes creates a culture of fair play, team work and engaging environment.

Tennis Australian Tennis Development Manager – ACT SE NSW, Alun Jones was pleased with the success of the competition.

“I was very impressed with the talent coming through.

The girls competition was taken out by team Orange, featuring Hannah Philips, Mackensie Dugdale Chloe Beetson and Ada Zhang.
